BusinessNZ's Phil O'Reilly appointed BIAC Chair

BusinessNZ Chief Executive Phil O’Reilly has been elected Chair of the Business and Industry Advisory Council (BIAC) to the OECD.

The BIAC is the voice of business at the OECD – the world’s foremost provider of integrated statistics and fact-based policy recommendations.  The BIAC network includes national business, industry and employer associations from OECD members and observer countries, as well as international sector-specific associate experts.

Mr O’Reilly said it was an honour to serve the BIAC, whose advocacy was vital for growth and employment internationally, and a great opportunity for New Zealand business to contribute to this work.

Mr O’Reilly has been a member of the Board of the BIAC for three years.  He will continue in his role as Chief Executive of BusinessNZ in addition to serving as BIAC Chair.
